Separate names with a comma.
I would say that if you have no hearing loss, you'll be blasting 40 dB. If your hearing loss is 20 dB, you'll be blasting 60 dB. If your hearing...
Yep, I also have had the same kind of overtones/reactivity (except that it lasts more than 10 days, is bilateral, and is quite loud) recently....
Oh yeah, I used hearing aids when I started investigating what could possibly go wrong with my hearing. Obviously, I've got a good old 30-35 dB...
I'm 34 ;) Multiple tones came after I quit music and yes, the distortions are linked with my TTTS and Hyperacusis joining the party. Back when I...
I always used high quality hearing protection while playing live. I would mostly play acoustic/folk/songwriting stuff on stage, so not really...
It's been getting constantly worse in the past 5 years so, yes. As I said, no impact whatsoever. It gets worse with or without colds so this...
Not related to tinnitus nor hyperacusis, but I never caught a cold when I was NAC, even when my wife and daughter were sick. Has to be related,...
Just speaking of my own experience with NAC: no dependence whatsoever. I took it for 6 months straight, not skipping a dose, 1200 mg per day. I...
From what I understand, this also works for all hyperacusis-related symptoms provided one doesn't face noise incidents. Not so clear, by the way,...
Careful with HBOT. You never know whether it's going to help or actually make it way worse. I wouldn't consider HBOT in your situation. As to...
Time and patience, that's it. You bought NAC, which is a good thing. You're already taking vitamin supplements. I believe you're doing all you...
Hearing distortions/dysacusis is a beast in itself, for sure. It is tiring to have no masking environment left and have your ears react to any...
Tinnitus Talk represents a immensely huge minority of people living with tinnitus. Tinnitus is a condition that affects 16 million people in...
Hypnosis is not a treatment for tinnitus. There is no treatment for tinnitus on the market. Any hypnologist saying the contrary is a crook. We are...
No, I stopped going to loud venues because even moderate sound environments give me spikes. I had to completely adapt to a new form of living: no...
This would require a nearly permanent hypnotic transe in order to block pain signals during an entire day. I'm not sure hypnoanalgesia is really...
Hypnoanalgesia and hypnoanesthesia are two of the most simple aspects of hypnosis. They are basic techniques that anyone can learn for themselves,...
Links between neuroplasticity and benzodiazepine use, if not yet completely understood, is being discussed in the neuroscientific community. No...
My wife is a dentist, so I know a few things about the situation: they have different drills they can use. Usually, the loudest high-pitched ones...
Well you've got at least one person here that went through the same issues: me :D It got a bit better, but give it some time, be patient....
This is debatable but I can definitely understand your point. Loneliness does mean silence so, yes, you're more risk-free on your own regarding...
Of course (y) About the struggle though, try and stop fighting it. I know it's easier said than done, but I insist: managing your stress level is...
Oh yes I have. Reactive tinnitus + hyperacusis is a pretty standard issue among people with tinnitus, but it's usually a matter of months. Give it...
Ears cracking to sound is most likely TTTS, which is a standard hyperacusis symptom that will fade away with time. I had this symptom in 2009, it...
For what it's worth: you're irritating your ear canal wearing earplugs. They are not made to be worn all day. If sounds bother you, buy a good...
You're just one month in, it's very likely that you'll feel better soon. As many others have told you already, give it time, give your ears some...
Permanently, but anything can make me spike permanently, so I wouldn't necessarily blame the meds. I'm really badly wired when it comes to spikes!
I took 25 mg for 1 week, then 50 mg for 2 weeks, then stopped.
I would recommend using external broadcasting rather than earphones if you have the choice. As a general rule, you don't want to stress your...
This is interesting. Back when I had hyperacusis, I tried Clomipramine too. It had a very bad impact on my tinnitus and didn't help my hyperacusis...
No randomized control group, no placebo = irrelevant study. Save your money.
For me it stopped working pretty quickly, I'd say 6 months after the first dose. I kept taking it because I was afraid it would be much worse if...
As a former daily user of Clonazepam during 4 years, I can confirm it is. It basically works reducing the perceived volume, until it does not...
Glad to read that 2 months in, you are able to find a certain form of logic in your tinnitus trend: what you should and should not do. This will...
No matter how many different views we have on the "power of the mind" topic, I wish you all the very best from the deepest of my heart and can't...
It got better when I stopped trying to cure it and focused on improving my emotional state with hypnosis. To be honest, I was sure it had nothing...
We're as much overgeneralizing ours that you are overspecifying yours. Yet, I don't believe it's about humility. Deeply, it's not bringing me...
As a matter of fact, I did go through terrible hyperacusis that lasted for more than a whole year and yes, I did spike from every single detail...
There would be so much to say about these two lines, but the OP said a lot already. Yet, please, take a minute to re-read what you just wrote,...
I think you could find a decent indoor bike for a reasonable amount of money. This would allow you to have physical activity without risking...
I don't believe he said all tinnitus is the same or that people that took their lives were "helped" by hypnosis or meditation. I believe though...
I'm sorry that it feels like I dodged the question, I didn't mean to. The clearest answer I can give is: I believe shutting down tinnitus is...
So I'll try and reply to all the quotes up here :) Regarding the first question: well, it is not as simple as I made it sound, but I am sure you...
Hi Deb! The best way you can do this is by finding a truly professional hypnologist you can consult with (whether he is a psychiatrist or not, it...
Je suis de Normandie, mais j'ai vécu à Paris pendant 25 ans :)
Again, it's not about being healed. Science cannot do that. It's about living a happy life. We can talk about loudness, we can talk about pain,...
My pleasure :) Well, I couldn't have said it better. One funny thing to try: go into a deep hypnotic state and work with residual inhibition....
Technically speaking, it would be more "to ask the unconscious to stop the signal from entering our conscious mind" rather than "stopping the...
I'll try and give it a go then. Again, English is not my mother tongue, so there probably will be a few things I can't express the exact same way...
I've been off Clonazepam for 1 year now. The hardest part was when I was somewhere between 0.3 mg and 0.5 mg. After that, it was easy to go lower...
I'm sorry, but I believe you are wrong. Actually, you say it yourself: "I had moderate tinnitus". And you also say "people with moderate tinnitus...
Yup, just hope you won't be coming back around here in a few years realizing it was maybe a warning from your hearing you should've listened to :)
You're 21, apparently already dealing with tinnitus, but still being a DJ (meaning loud environments, headphones, etc.) Be extremely careful with...
Good piece of advice, I will try them for a few minutes first and see how it goes!
I ordered them, I will be doing exactly this :) Thank you :)
Hello, There's still this whole mystery around tinnitus: why people get some new frequencies doing specific things when others don't while doing...
You're capturing my feeling perfectly: frustration. Yet, at the same time, as a hypnologist, I've been training my brain to dissociate "pain"...
Hi Michael, I went through all the possible tests over the years: nothing came out of that. I had an MRI, brain scans, blood tests, and saw all...
Hi all, I have severe tinnitus with multiple tinnitus tones. Over the recent years, I've become unable to even drive my car for more than 30...
I think the most important point here is: moving from "severe very loud" to "tiny whisper" is the closest you can get to a cure as of today....
